When people first begin using the Pomodoro Method, one of the first questions that often pops up is, "What do you do in the 5 minute Pomodoro break?" It's a great question to ask about the short Pomodomoro break, and we hope to give you some quality ideas about what you should do during your 5-minute study break. If you have some good ideas on how to spend this time, you're much more likely to make these short breaks effective to help you rejuvenate so when you do go back to your main project, you have the energy you need.
One important thing to remember is that this short break is meant to be a break. The key here is you should spend the time doing something completely different than what you had been doing. You want to give your mind and body a break from what you have been doing to refresh both so that when you go back, you're ready to tackle the project full of energy. You don't want to do something that's too similar to your main task during your short break since this won't actually give you a break from that task. Below you'll find a list of what you can do on a Pomodomoro break.
